The White Lotus Mystery. Samui’s Cinematic Exploration.

Live the Story. Direct Your Ending.

Step into the world of The White Lotus with this one-of-a-kind cinematic journey across Koh Samui — the real-life island backdrop of the show’s most unforgettable moments. More than a tour, this is your chance to become the director of your own White Lotus episode. Follow in the footsteps of your favorite characters, visit iconic filming locations, and write the ending you want — whether that’s spiritual clarity, emotional closure, or a sunset toast with a secret lover.

Tour Highlights

1. Buddhist Temple Experience
Begin your journey with the serenity that once captivated Piper. Explore the sacred temple where she sought a year-long Buddhist immersion. Visit the quiet student quarters, traditional classroom, and temple grounds where the Ratliff family had their pivotal spiritual moment. Feel the energy that made this place so transformational.

2. Choengmon Beach & Beach Club

Here on Choengmon Beach, you’re looking at the very location where The White Lotus filmed its dreamy trailer and arrival scenes — those first glimpses of paradise. Later, in Episode 5, this stretch of sand doubles in spirit for the Full‑Moon‑style beach party — a dreamy, wild sequence blending Samui and Phangan vibes. Nearby, the private ‘Villa Jacinta’ stood in for moments of solitude and introspection for the characters. This place resonates with both the show’s beauty and its emotional intensity.

The next stop is the upscale beach club sets the stage for one of the season’s most vibrant scenes in Episode 5. Jaclyn, Laurie, and Kate join Valentin and his friends for a wild night out. The atmosphere pulses with mood lighting, DJ beats, and a steady flow of champagne, capturing the island’s seductive, high-energy spirit. Under glowing cabanas and flashing lights, characters let loose—sparking flirtations, tensions, and moments of unexpected intimacy. While inspired by Koh Phangan’s iconic Full Moon parties, this entire sequence was filmed right herei, bringing that festival vibe straight to Samui’s shores.

3. Fisherman’s Village & 7-Eleven Scene

Make your way to the charming Fisherman’s Village, one of Koh Samui’s most picturesque areas — and the setting for one of The White Lotus Season 3’s most chaotic and symbolic scenes. In Episode 4, the village transforms into a vibrant backdrop for the Thai Songkran Festival, where traditional water fights turn into something far more revealing.

It’s here, just outside the local 7-Eleven, that characters are swept up in a flurry of water splashes, laughter, and unexpected emotional confrontations. What begins as harmless fun quickly unravels into a moment of tension and truth, as long-buried emotions surface in the middle of the crowd.

Yes — even the humble 7-Eleven becomes iconic when secrets start spilling as fast as the buckets of water. With its mix of local charm, cultural celebration, and character unraveling, this scene perfectly captures the series’ signature blend of beauty and emotional complexity.

You are welcome to shop there.

4. The White Lotus Hotel – Bophut, Koh Samui
Enter the iconic resort where the drama unfolds. Tour the key locations including:

  • Security station and driveway where secrets were kept.
  • The lotus pond and meditation salas where silence spoke volumes.
  • The jewelry store — a turning point for some relationships.
    We can pre-book an elegant White Lotus Afternoon Tea served in the serene meditation sala for a refined, immersive touch.Find all the details down below.
  • Optional experience (supposed to be reserved in advance, for a minimum of two guests, and is fully private for your group.):

White Lotus Afternoon Tea – THB 2,000++ per person
Daily from 2.00 pm – 5.00 pm at the Bophut's lotus pond garden.

Inspired by The White Lotus Season 3, this refined afternoon tea includes Thai Lobster Salad with Lotus Flower and Caviar, Chili Crab & Prawn Quiche, Smoked Eggplant Nam Prik with Beef, and more. Sweet highlights feature White Chocolate Coconut Dacquoise and Chef Tra’s signature Lotus Cheesecake. Served with a selection of aromatic teas in a serene Thai sala setting.

5. Cultural Center
Delve into Thai heritage with a visit to the cultural center that celebrates traditional performances and architecture. This is where characters experienced authentic cultural exchanges and faced their own internal reckonings.

Was used as a filming location for The White Lotus Season 3. Specifically, its exterior of the Dusit Dheva Cultural Centre doubled as the temple gardens for scenes featuring a Buddhist monastery. This is where characters, such as Piper, are seen exploring or announcing their intention to spend time at a Buddhist monastery.

6. Samui Snake Farm
A thrilling stop where you’ll see the spot of the dramatic snake release scene — where Rick (played by Walton Goggins) set the snakes free, resulting in Chelsea’s infamous bite. Optional snake encounter for the brave-hearted.

7. Resort at Taling Ngam
Welcome to one of the most visually stunning and emotionally charged moments from The White Lotus Season 3. This unforgettable beachside BBQ was filmed right here at this resort in Taling Ngam, and featured in Episode 3, titled “The Meaning of Dreams.”

As you walk this very stretch of sand, imagine the scene: tiki torches flickering, fire dancers moving in rhythm with the waves, and the characters gathered under the stars — sharing secrets, laughing, or sometimes just silently processing the chaos unfolding around them.

This wasn’t just dinner — it was a moment of reflection, connection, and a dramatic turning point in the story. The luxury of the setting contrasted with the tensions simmering beneath the surface.

It's a good spot to have a romantic dinner here. We can recreate this experience for you with a private beach dinner at sunset — complete with a fire show on select nights, just like in the series. Let us know in advance, and we’ll book the full experience for your personal White Lotus finale.

This treehouse-style bar offers characters a dramatic backdrop for conversations, often at sunset, with treetop and ocean views and the ambient sounds of nature. The lounge's design, inspired by the island's famed bird-singing contests, provides a distinctive and atmospheric location, hinting at the subtle interplay between luxury and local culture that defines the series.
